“Also, running the kitchen sink’s hot water faucet into a jug, until it gets hot, instead of down the drain.”
BUMP! Thanks for the reminder - I don’t always do this. My kitchen sink, which I use all day every day, is the FURTHEST faucet from the water heater, so it takes some time to get me hot water for washing dishes. The water DOES go from cold to scalding, so usually it’s no problem and the temp is fine once the sink is half-full.
I’m going to fill a jug just to see how long it really takes. I’ll bet it’s at LEAST 2 gallon jugs worth of water before the hot kicks in.
I sound like Greeneyes complaining about something she’s asked her hubby to ‘fix’ for her that hasn’t gotten done yet, LOL! See? She’s still with us! :)
Yes, that’s Greeneyes, alright! Ever with us.
“I’ve asked and asked my hubby to install a second (instant?)v water heater for the kitchen...”
Oops! Now I’m giving you new ideas to nag...uh, suggest to Beau.
